I rarely root for the Yankees. Sure, I jumped on the bandwagon in that magical October of 2001 when all of New York needed a pick-me-up. Today, however, I spent most of the afternoon hoping that Roger Clemens would find a way to pick up his epic 300th win.
Why, you ask? Was I sick of the endless string of hype about Clemens' feat? Sure. But Rocket's next attempt comes against my hapless Tigers. Looks like they'll be making more history.
Posted by mikewolf at May 26, 2003 05:58 PMHmmm... just think, next year, you'll have to root for the Braves when Meddux is pitching for his 300th.
Posted by: K.Britt on May 26, 2003 10:33 PMUhhhhh.... I mean "Maddux." Did I ever mention that I got a "D-" in high school typing?
Posted by: K.Britt on May 26, 2003 10:33 PMErr... I guarantee you that I won't be rooting for Maddux in this lifetime.
Regardless, 3-5 with an ERA of 5 and a .280 BA against and 24 wins short of 300? I think next year might be a bit of wishful thinking.

Oh, and I was at the game.
Oh, and the Tigers? The Yankees will heal themselves against the Tigers. Of course, you could say that about most of the teams in the American League...
